aWalrus's Journal: Doctors in Mexico and webComic listings.

Brother's visiting from Tabasco (Southeast México). He's a Medical Doctor, you see, so the government rewards him for all that studying by sending him to a dinky little town in the middle of nowhere to be the town Doctor and receive a paycheck big enough to cover his costs of travelling back home from time to time, provided he does it by foot and stops eating for a week. He has to stay there for a year. I guess the upshot is that when you meet an MD in México (and we have some of the best) there's a good chance that he not only knows how to mend an artery, but also has gone through a good deal of jungle with a machete. Tough guys, doctors.

For the ones following the comic, the Top Web Comics list has been reset, and we're getting nice ratings, so keep voting. I'm working on a bunch of extras to offer this month, including three really twisted guest comics by friends who are not webcomic artists. I'm also working on the wallpaper I promised and on translating some of my short stories. Social life's been picking up lately, so I haven't really had a lot of time to work on this stuff, but I plan on fixing that this week. See you.
